Andy Mac ...... Revenge of the Allies

[Andy Mac]

OK multi update but the highlights of the last week are as follows

Air War continues I am supressing Mandalay for my next little operation in the area due to commence in a few turns.

My Diversion force heading to Darwin is pulling back a little - I am nervous of being cut off by the forces that I knocked off the railway a few weeks back.

I am operating on a shoe string so I need to watch it.

My main force heading to Perth my armour got ahead of the main body a little and got swatted by the Japanese forces

Pauk swept Tarawa last turn most of my P38's and P40B's were off covering the Narua invassdion force so I lost heavily.

Narau was taken by the 11th RCT with armour and arty support.

I am here to stay this time and will use the base as a seaplane base

[Andy Mac]

p.s. 60 days are past my Paras have now officially arrived at Karachi and are moving to the front in Dakotas lets see what mayhem I can cause in Burma/China with some US Marine Paras

[Andy Mac]

Perth has been recaptured and Narau siezed and there has been no reaction from Pauk.My next and last probing attack is in Burma but I am concerned at the lack of reaction.

If he expects me to launch a deep strike outside of LBA support he must be crazy.

Perth was sticking my neck out as far as I am willing to go at this stage.

Corsairs are 2 months away. I have an advanced base in the Gilberts and New Cal is not threatened unless he is prepping a massive attack his passivity seems to be bad tactics.

Pauk is a good player so I cannot believe that he is going to sit back and let me get stronger he has to try and provoke a fight now surely.

But I would have to be a fool to fight now any carriers I lose at this stage take a year to respawn minimum that would shut down any offensive (and expose my LOC) right through to end 43.

Essex and the Independence class CVL's are not dar away which will give me 7 USN CV's (albeit still with Wildcats)

[Andy Mac]

OK all quiet I got ambushed and lost a lot of wellies apart from that its quiet Pauk is sitting still at the moment

[BrucePowers]

Would not Perth have been a massively long and dangerous supply line for him?

[Andy Mac]

Possibly but its even longer for me its the kind of place I must take back as it re opens the Indian Ocean so I would have prepped an ambush with KB to sink some carriers even if they are RN ones.

Pauk has a major upgrade cycle coming soon I think its January 43 they are due and its basically the whole fleet same as my October 42 cycle so I will have a month or so to try something adventurous

[Sneer]

it starts in february and continues to March with only Kaga left for April 

[ny59giants]

Re-spawned CV's take 520 days. That is what I got when I lost the Yorktown off of PM playing against the AI using a Nik Mod that started om 1 May 42. 

[Andy Mac]

Aye I need to be carefull but slightly aggressive I dont want to jeapordise my whole 43 offensive by being reckless remember Wildcats are still easy meat for elite zeroes
 
But he will be in upgrade so an opportunity may present itself

[Andy Mac]

Paratroopers going in tomorrow to try and secure the AF at Meiktila

All else is quiet pauk seems content to sit back and do nothing

[Andy Mac]

KB spotted West of New Cal all forces placed on High alert Sydney and Brisbane Harbour cleared

OK guys I am now totally confused.
 
I control the Gilberts entirely
I hold New Cal and New Hebrides in strength
I am building in the Santa Cruz Islands
all of the LOC islands in Centpac are mine and garrisoned
Perth is recaptured
I am attacking in Burma
 
Overall I think I am in pretty good shape and am being aggressive but I cannot help but feel that Pauk is expecting me to attack him and risk my Carriers. He is just too quiet sitting back as though I am going to risk Wildcats against Zeroes without LBA support.
 
Am I being to defensive ? I just dont see any reason to run a major risk with my carriers in the absence of a major threat
 
I will begin to plan for operations but I am just not sure its worth it at present.
 
Potential Realistic Targets
1. Port Morsbey
2. Gili Gili
3. Solomons
4. Marshalls
5. Andaman Islands
 
Ok lets run through them
 
1. Possible but Pauk has to be expecting it and will have lvl 9 forts
2. Possible but Pauk has to be expecting it and will have lvl 9 forts
3. Extremely risky without AF's in range and Sanat Cruz will take time to build
4. Marshalls I dont feel I have enough armour for an Atoll attack against dug in troops without air superiority so they are out
5. I dont see how this really helps me except to make Pauk paranoid in Burma
 
I have available
 
III US Corps (Concentrating at Pearll)
1st USMC Div
25th US Div
43rd US Div
112th US Cav
147th US RCT
 
IX Corps (Concentrating at New Cal)
2nd USMC Div
40th US Div
2nd NZ Cav Bde
3rd NZ Cav Bde
193rd Ard Regt
754th Ard Regt
 
I am short of armour and none of the troop are currently prepped.
 
Any thoughts guys ?
